Lightbicycle has some pretty good wheels at very reasonable prices. Reputable company and good after-sales support. I just got a 1412gm / 36mm deep wheelset from them for a hair over $600. Dont have enough miles on those wheels to have an opinion on quality yet, but given the positive reviews they get, i dont expect any issues. Cosmetically, they look amazing.

My experience with Fulcrum has been meh. I have a pair of Racing Zeros with perhaps 4000-5000km on them and no major pothole impact, and they are out of true. By comparison, my Psimet wheels ran for years and years with zero fuss and zero truing issues. As an alternative to LB, consider opening a Shop'n'Ship account and getting wheels from him - you'll pay around $50 in shipment, and his wheels are flat-out amazing.
